The Fairfield Journal says The outlook
| for hui11iuu in thia virnitv hptt
| than now and the scarcity of Lumber is very
| injurious to all concerned. All of our mills
closed out their stock very clean last year
owing to the small number of logs that came
down river. 1t was hoped that good supply
| of logs would come along early so that the
early orders could be filled promptly. Just
the opposite has been the case however. The
water has now been so high for two weeks
that all logs that have turned in have gone
into the iptervales or bushes and but few
| have come as far as here and those few could
not be stopped As the wafer has been running
slick and smooth over all the booms. All of
| our mills have a host of orders awaiting logs.
No buildings can be commenced on until
some logs arrive to start the mills. The
Framing mill probably suffers as much as
any once concern by the backwardness of
the logs. They have on hand good batch
tention but they have not stick of timber
for a frame.
